Chicken and Wild Rice Casserole image

My mother made a great chicken and rice casserole using the classic canned cream of mushroom soup. In my take on her recipe, I replace the canned soup with fresh ingredients. The result is a little more nutritious and just as delicious as the one I ate as a kid.

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
1 small onion, diced
1 cup sliced cremini or white mushrooms
Kosher salt
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
3 cups cooked wild rice (see Cook's Note)
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, plus more for sprinkling on top

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Heat the 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes.
  • Add the mushrooms and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and the onions are translucent, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon oil in the skillet and add the chicken, garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to the medium bowl. Add the wild rice, sour cream and 1 cup shredded cheese and stir to combine.
  • Transfer the mixture to an 8-by-8-inch baking dish and sprinkle with additional shredded cheese.
  • Bake until bubbly, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve.
